Over the past eleven weeks, thank you for linking, for commenting on my posts, and for sending messages saying how you've enjoyed this meme.

Most of all, my heartfelt gratitude to those who took the time to visit and comment on the blogs of other participants. Linking and running is not your style and I appreciate that.Youare the light in ☀Sunlit Sunday.

Let's dive in for the last time until January 2014.

After my hike in the beautiful, snowy woods, I spotted these three on the drive home. Some of us know how to dress for the weather!

I'll have to go back to this farm; there was a sign that said, among other things, handmade soaps are sold here. Did I mention I have lived in this region for about 25 years? I'm still making discoveries!

Here's hoping you're embracing the day.

Yes?

Do tell!

Update: I looked at the farm's website and the long-haired cattle are Scottish Highland; the black and white one is Galloway. (Chel, from Sweet Briar Dreams, identified the Highlands in a comment. Thanks, Chel!)

I would like to say that I was outside enjoying the beautiful day, but I found myself sorting through the guest room. I really do think that there must be a better place to put my big platter and roasting pan than under the bed.

Once I clear out the kitchen, some space should magically appear for them. Right?

One job leads to another, it seems, but it's nice to have the time to
putter and feather my nest. I think the birds are more efficient than I am at completing the task.

The notion of birds nesting obviously brings on thoughts of the upcoming season, which leads me to an announcement about this meme. The final ☀Sunlit Sunday for this year will be March 24th, just a few days after the first day of spring.

✿With that in mind while you visit this week's participants, please consider "following" those that speak to you. Also, why not add a few to your blog roll?I'd love to think that you plan to stay in touch with some of the people you've met here.

✿As for me, please note that "My Little Home and Garden" is also on Facebook. You're invited to drop by anytime! Each Friday, feel free topost an original photoand your blog link (if you have one). You may well meet some new friends there. I did!

I've
been dealing with my miniscule linen cupboard: pitching things,
reorganzing, discovering
so-that's-where-the-stopper-is-for-the-hot-water-bottle, wondering why
so many containers of cleaners have so little product left in them, and
how I've accumulated all of those shampoos and conditioners.

Moving on to the bedroom dresser, do I really ever intend to wear
that again and when did the dust bunnies move underneath the furniture and
propagate?

I've started in on a whole-house clean, scour, pitch, give away, recycle extravaganza.

So long, Procrastination!

When
I find my new(er) house, this little home needs to be ready to be put
on the market, all pretty and sparkly clean. Note I said "when" not
"if". My house hunt didn't didn't yield any results last year, so my
eyes are peeled once again.

As I said, though, I'm taking a quick break. I may not be
able to smell the roses (there is snow outside), but I can take a sniff
of the grocery store tulips that I picked up Saturday evening. It's
funny how one pretty spot can motivate a person to create some more.

What's new with you?

I'll be sure to return your visit, somewhere between finding out what's lurking beneath the beds and figuring out how to repair a bookcase. Bye for now!
